For some reason when I play HL2 Cinematic Mod my computer crashes....Now I thought that it was my CPU overheating. So I cleaned it applied new thermal paste of course and it's still crashing..But! when I play GTA 5 on all high with an enb I can play for hours with no crashes. I've gotten to the point where I don't know what to do I looked it up. Everyone says "Overheating" but my CPU temps aren't even that bad. Also my CPU is a AMD A10-5800K I also have a 970, 8 gigs of ram. Someone help me out please :) Maybe it's a bug with HL2? I don't really know....this has never EVER happened before. It only happens when I play HL2. Gmod doesn't crash and I play that for HOURS.

Weird. I looked up the requirements for the cinematic mod and your computer exceeds even the recommended specs.

Do any other HL2 games crash? You mentioned GMod, but have you tested the original HL2, or TF2, or Portal, etc.

Um let me install TF2 aand I'll tell you if it crashes. I'll play it for like an hour. EDIT: I played for like 30 mins on all high no issues. I was playing a pretty big map with like 10v9.... I really don't understand why HL2 has to be like this.EDIT2: Forgot to tell you I contacted the Dev of that mod and I'm still waiting for him to say something.
